I've noticed similar things as well in my career. When I'm put in charge (or put myself in charge), I act like a leader and take up the leadership role. Otherwise, I just play my part in the game. I'm always happy and friendly, but it's in a different way when leading a group.
I've read some sociological studies about stuff like this. One of the best ways to promote leadership in employees is to give them a project to lead on.
